1987 Dolphin in California $
Hello I'm thinking about selling my dolphin I'm here in California I'm just curious the current value of these in the area.?
?
And I'll explain everything to you.?
?
I bought this about 5 years ago and I pretty much got a little scammed by the people I bought from. I trusted these nice older people but I guess it was my fault to not know what to look for I was just excited to find one. I bought it for 9k.
?
After using it and learning more about the dolphin. It doesn't have a water heater. It doesn't have an AC unit. The original bed/pad is gone which they covered up with plywood and a mattress with blankets hanging over So I didn't think to look underneath it.?
They had a leak prior and they showed me where it was and showed me that it was fixed.?
But come the first rain I didn't look at it the first day and then I went and there was a leak still.?
So I've had it covered ever since and I did have a part of the inside where the door is coming in and the window all the way up to the kitchenette replaced. The good news is when we started pulling the stuff out there was no dry rot so we stopped. I will admit the guy helping me was not as good as he said he was. He also ruined the original cabinets on one side and built something new there.?
?
So again I'm missing AC and missing a water heater missing the original bed pad and there's been repairs done to one side internally.?
?
It has 87,000 mi on it. Runs great. The truck itself is in great condition. In the paperwork it was supposedly engine rebuilt at about 40,000 mi.
Just passed smog.?
There is solar and an extra battery. Frigerator runs great. Heater runs great. No problem with the propane. It's very clean inside. I redid some of the upholstery and on the kitchenette. I have made the sleeping area more practical and I used memory foam mattress fitted.?
?
The shower and toilet work, but no hot water. Stove in great condition. I can't think of anything else at the moment.? |
Overheating 3.0 V6 Toyota Truck
开云体育
My 1993 Dolphin with a 3.0 V6 automatic transmission always overheats on hills. Anytime we are climbing a hill it gets too warm, going downhill it cools off again.? It also heats up when you are pushing the engine, going fast on level ground, even on cool day.
The gauge is nudging the red zone. So far, I have replaced the three-row radiator, the thermostat and the fan clutch.? I've even removed the front license plate. It was blocking a small air supply slot in the bumper. None of this has helped.? When I replaced
the thermostat, I expected sludge, but the port and the thermostat was clean as a whistle. I intend to flush the system, but it seems very clean already.? I'm contemplating replacing the water pump (huge job). The pump doesn't leak, and the bearing seems sound
(no play). Is this a common problem with the V6 engines or am I missing something? Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how did you solve it?

Re: headlight attachments
They stopped making watchamacawlits. The gizmo is in fact what you need, but a thingamajig will work in a pinch. On Mon, Mar 10, 2025 at 8:33?PM Mark Petryk via <mark=[email protected]> wrote:

Are you sure it’s a gizmo you need? |
Re: 22RE hard to find parts
A couple months ago I bought a complete engine as a backup 22RE for $750. I also have the igniter and a couple ecus. I lucked out and found a TPS sensor almost new at the junkyard. TPS is a real problem on these engines because a lot of mechanics will spray carb cleaner on the throttle body interior and it leaks right into the TPS and destroys the contacts. Another thing I carry is old and sometimes new fan and AC belts and the previous sets of hoses I've replaced I carry the old ones just in case unless they're destroyed.? |
